Answer:

the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of silver medals won by Brazil is shown below:

Given that

Total number of gold and silver medal wons by Brazil was 35

And, the ratio of number of gold medals to the number of silver medals be 3 : 2

Based on the above information

The number of silver medals won would be

= 35 × 2 ÷ (3 + 2)

= 35 × 2 ÷ 5

= 14

hence, the number of silver medals won by Brazil is 14

A line has a slope of 9 and a y-intercept of 2. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

y=9x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a linear equation is y=mx+b. m=9 since it is slope and b=2 which is the y intercept. So the equation would be y=9x+2.

Solve each equation by completing the square NEED THIS IN 10 MINS WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7(b² - 2b - 8) = 0

7(b² - 2b +   ) = 8

7(b² - 2b + 1) = 8 + 1

7(b - 1)² = 9

(b - 1)² = 9/7

b - 1 = ±√(9/7)

b = 1 ±3√(1/7)

b ≈ -0.134, 2.134

m² + 10m + 14  = -7

m² + 10m +      = -7 - 14

m² + 10m + 25 = -7 - 14 + 25

(m + 5)² = 4

m + 5 = 2

m = -3

p² - 8p + 21 = 6

p² - 8p +     = 6 -21

p² - 8p + 16 = 6 -21 + 16

(p - 4)² = 1

p - 4 = 1

p = 5

You have a 32 32 -foot fence around a square garden. There are 4 4 equal sections. You paint 13 1 3 of one section of the fence.
elena-s [515]

Answer: The answer is one-twelveth.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that we have a 32 feet fence around a square garden ABCD as shown in the attached figure.

There are four equal sections AB = BC = BD = DA of the fence.

If we paint one-third of one section, then we need to find what fraction of the total fence we painted.

Since ABCD is a square, so AB = BC = CD = DA = 8 feet.

Let we paint one-third of section AB. so, the part of AB we painted is

P_{AB}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times AB=\dfrac{8}{3}~\textup{feet}.

Therefore, the fraction of the fence that we painted is given by

P_{fence}=\dfrac{\frac{8}{3}}{32}=\dfrac{8}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{32}=\dfrac{1}{12}.  

Thus, we painted one -twelveth of the total fence.
